A crib is likely to be one of the first things you’ll purchase when you have a baby on the way. This makes it one of the most exciting—and possibly stressful—products you’ll ever buy for your kid. Thankfully, new cribs sold in the U.S. must conform to safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, so the primary criteria should come down to budget, aesthetics, construction quality, and ease of assembly (because anyone who’s ever put together Ikea furniture knows how crucial this is).
Consumer Reports tested 22 cribs, including the popular Babyletto, the TikTok favorite by Nestig, a budget-friendly option from Ikea, and a steel crib that (spoiler) we loved. Below, you’ll find our three most highly rated models. For more options, head over to our full crib ratings.
